He needs three wins to get to 20 with three more starts. I wonder if he cares about the win today? I remember last year when people wanted the youngsters to play more because the Reds were out of it and Baker responded with "Guys want to get their numbers" as the reasoning why a lot of the veterans were still in there. I guess that doesn't apply this year. Cueto has been given many, many crappy lineups to work with this year.

I think Cueto understands that there are bigger things to worry about. If he's on we should still win.

It's late September with an 11 game lead, day games after night games are a good chance to give guys an off day.
